Benefits of technology

[0020] These and other objects, which will become apparent during the following detailed description, have been achieved by the present inventors' discovery that, when the propylene chain structure in a soft polypropylene-based resin is specifically controlled, then the above-mentioned problems can be solved. In particular, when the propylene chain structure in a soft polypropylene-based resin is specifically controlled and when the resin is combined with a rubber component, then the resulting composition can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems. Specifically, the inventors have found that, when a soft polypropylene-based resin is so constituted that the polypropylene segment therein is macroscopically of a low-crystallinity, but microscopically, contains fine crystals exist therein and that the fine crystals are dis

Problems solved by technology

However, since polyvinyl chloride produces harmful substances when incinerated, it is desired to develop a novel soft resin which can be substituted for soft polyvinyl chloride.
Accordingly, it is extremely difficult to improve all three properties of flexibility, transparency, and heat resistance of ethylene-based resin.
Therefore, the polymer is difficult to apply to films and sheets.
The other atactic polypropylene that is produced by the use of a metallocene catalyst can be specifically controlled to have a narrowed molecular weight distribution and a narrowed stereospecificity distribution, but its heat resistance is poor since atactic polypropylene is naturally an amorphous polymer.
Accordingly, these types of atactic polypropylene also can not satisfy all the requirements of improved flexibility, transparency, and heat resistance, like the above-mentioned ethylene-based copolymer.
When the isotactic segment is incr

example 1

(1) Production of dichloro{1,1′-dimethylsilylene[2-methyl-1-indenyl]-[2-methyl-4-phenyl-4H-azulenyl]}hafnium:

[0407] The following process was all carried out in a dry nitrogen atmosphere, according to ordinary Schlenk techniques. Toluene, tetrahydrofuran, and diethyl ether for solvent were dried over benzophenone ketyl with sodium metal before use. N-hexane used herein was dehydrated n-hexane by Kanto Chemical.

[0408] A n-hexane solution of n-butyllithium (50.0 ml, 79.5 mmols, 1.59 N) was dropwise added to a suspension of 2-methylindene (9.8 g, 75.3 mmols) and n-hexane (100 ml) through a syringe at −70° C., over 10 minutes. With stirring, this was gradually warmed up to room temperature, over 2 hours. This was further stirred for 20 hours at room temperature, and the solid component was removed by filtration from the resulting pale yellow suspension via a cannula. The thus-filtered solid was washed twice with 30 ml of n-hexane, and then dried under reduced pressure to a constant w...

(1) Production of dichloro{1,1′-dimethylsilylene[2-methyl-1-indenyl]-[2-methyl-4-phenyl-4H-azulenyl]}zirconium:

[0427] A n-hexane solution of n-butyllithium (9.4 ml, 14.9 mmols, 1.59 N) was added to a n-hexane solution (120 ml) of dimethyl(2-methyl-1-indenyl)(2-methyl-4-phenyl-4H-1-azulenyl)silane (2.9 g, 7.1 mmols) obtained in Example 1(1), at 0° C. through a syringe, over 5 minutes. Next, this was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours, and then at room temperature for 17.5 hours. The resulting suspension was filtered through a cannula, and the solid thus obtained was washed twice with 30 ml of n-hexane. The solid was dried under reduced pressure to give an yellow brown powder, dimethyl(2-methyl-1-indenyl)(2-methyl-4-phenyl-4H-1-azulenyl)silane dilithium salt (3.0 g).

[0428] The resulting dilithium salt (0.42 g, 1.0 mmol) and zirconium tetrachloride (0.23 g, 1.0 mmol) were metered in an inert gas atmosphere in a glove box, and put into a 100-ml round-bottom flask (equipped with a magneti...

(1) Production of dichloro{1,1′-dimethylsilylene[2-methylbenzo[e]indenyl]-[2-methyl-4-phenyl-4H-azulenyl]}hafnium:

[0449] 2-Methylbenzo[e]indene (1.87 g, 10.4 mols) was dissolved in dehydrated n-hexane (38 ml), and n-butyllithium (1.59 M, 6.6 ml, 10.5 mmols) was added to the resulting solution at 0° C. through a syringe. The solution was at first transparent and gradually became cloudy, and formed a precipitate. The white suspension was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours and filtered through a cannula. The resulting white solid was washed with dry n-hexane (10 ml×2), and dried under reduced pressure to obtain a spongy white solid (1.84 g, yield 95%).

[0450] The thus-obtained white solid (2-methylbenzo[e]indenyllithium, 0.94 g, 5.1 mmols) was dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran / diethyl ether (40 ml, 1 / 1 v / v). On the other hand, dimethyldichlorosilane (2.60 g, 20.2 mmols) was dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran / diethyl ether (20 ml, 1 / 1 v / v), and the resulting solution was dropwise a...

Abstract

Soft propylene-based resin compositions, which comprise substantially the following block (I) and block (II): Block (I): propylene-based polymer having propylene unit chain segments that bond in a mode of head-to-tail bonding, in which the chain segment has an isotactic block-containing stereoblock structure; Block (II): copolymer containing at least propylene and ethylene, exhibit good flexibility, transparency, and heat resistance.

Description

CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation of International Patent Application No. PCT / JP03 / 00908, filed on Jan. 30, 2003, and claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-023137, filed on Jan. 31, 2002, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to novel, soft propylene-based resin compositions. [0004] 2. Discussion of the Background [0005] Soft polyvinyl chloride has heretofore been widely used as a type of soft resin that has flexibility, transparency and heat resistance. However, since polyvinyl chloride produces harmful substances when incinerated, it is desired to develop a novel soft resin which can be substituted for soft polyvinyl chloride. Considering the production costs of resins, an olefin-based soft resin may be one candidate for it. [0006] For example, it is known that ethylene-based resins pre...
